Exxon Mobil

While some investors have been waiting for Apple's market capitalization to reach $1 trillion, those looking for big round numbers might be better off looking to the S&P 500 technology index as a whole, which is approaching the $5 trillion mark.

Exxon Mobil Corp, the world's largest publicly traded oil producer, sought to reassure anxious investors on Wednesday about its growth potential, highlighting both short- and long-term projects that executives said should continue to help fund the 106-year-old dividend.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is investigating Exxon Mobil Corp's accounting practices and why the oil major hasn't written down the value of its assets in the wake of a slump in oil prices, a person familiar with the matter said.

Exxon Mobil Corp., the world’s largest energy company by market value, said net income fell 11 percent as its biggest first-quarter production decline since 2008 wiped out most of the benefit of record oil prices.
